1) The kids are a punk … Read Full Bio ↴There are more than one band with this name:
1) The kids are a punk rock band based in Antwerp, Belgium. They were one of the first groups in Belgium to really tap into the power of the international punk scene which was erupting in 1976-77.
Formed by three angry dock(work)ers, the group evolves from pure energy on the first album to more varied and adult songs. Ludo Mariman (in "Wit-lof from Belgium") on the changes the band went trough : "Look, punk may be dead and over. But that doesn't mean we have to go away. We are almost a normal rock band now. We even have a slow song. We play better. We don't spit on the public anymore, now we try to amuse them".
In 1986, after 10 years THE KIDS decided to stop playing and LUDO MARIMAN started his solocareer. But in 1996, 20 years after the first gig THE KIDS held a reunion-tour. The first two albums were reproduced on one CD and a double album. THE KIDS will continue playing as long as ....... 'THE KIDS ARE UNITED'.
In 2001 THE KIDS were 25 YEARS young and in december of that same year the Live CD FLABBERGASTED! was released. In 2005 they release a new single "Freedom, Liberty, Democracy". In 2006 the KIDS are 30!
2007 saw the release of THE KIDS ANTHOLOGY, a box including all albums between 1978 and 1985, completed with a DVD of a live concert recorded in 1982.

Because i made a bio for a kids page and i now found out there is also a The Kids page on lastfm i copy paste this over here.
One of the first groups in Belgium to really tap into the power of the international punk scene which was erupting in 1976-77 were The Kids. In retrospect, it is a bit foolish to call the Kids a "punk"-group, since they were much too R&B for that, but they certainly communicated the "punk"-feeling.
Front-man Ludo Mariman in "Wit-lof from Belgium": "In 1976 we were together in a band called "Crash". None of us could really play. We just hammered away, hard and fast, sounding like a really bad Velvet Underground. When the first news of the punk explosion in Britain started to come through, I went to London. I wanted to know what was going on over there, and if these guys had the seem feelings of anger I had. I remember the shivers down my spine seeing Eddie & The Hot Rods. I also saw the Ramones and then I knew we had that same music within us. Technically we could handle it, because you don't have to master the instruments to play punk music".
"Bloody Belgium", "Fascist cops", "No Monarchy" and "Rock over Belgium" were the songs which got them started.
They played support acts for Iggy Pop and Patti Smith in 1977.
Formed by three angry dock(work)ers, the group evolves from pure energy on the first album to more varied and adult songs. Ludo Mariman (again in "Wit-lof from Belgium") on the changes the band went trough : "Look, punk may be dead and over. But that doesn't mean we have to go away. We are almost a normal rock band now. We even have a slow song. We play better. We don't spit on the public anymore, now we try to amuse them".
Strangely enough, their two first albums were produced by Leo Caerts, the man who had been a band-leader for the likes of Will Tura etc. and the author of the world hit "Eviva España" (see Samantha).
In 1979 they release a single together with Jo Lemaire & Flouze : Jo sings "Tintarella di Luna", the Kids do a cover of "Louie Louie".
The album "Living in the 20th century" becomes a classic. They even hit the hitparades with "Dancing".
Their moment of fame however is the brilliant song "There will be no next time" (or as Humo put it : "the world hit which never was one").
After the split of the group in 1985, the front-singer of the band Ludo Mariman, a former professional soccer-player for Antwerp, keeps trying to make it in the music business. He sings "Angie" for the LSP-band and returns to the public eye four years later with "You never know what's yours" and has kept on recording ever since. Although his records are always of reasonable quality, he never really manages to produce the excitement which was a trademark for The Kids.
That Mariman is a well-respected artist can be deduced from this expert for the 1994 album "They say" in Humo : "Mariman is, just as when he invented the punk movement for the low countries 18 years ago, still angry and that is a quality of this man. ... Most of the twelve songs on this album were written and sung from the viewpoint of something that somebody who has a much smoother tongue than me has described as the "wet dog syndrome". ... Authenticity. You cannot buy it in your local shopping mall. Ludo Mariman has had tons of it for years, and now he has even produced a very good cd with it."
1996 sees a surprise comeback for the Kids. They decide to reform the band and tour the summerfestivals. In 1998 they are featured on the soundtrack of the Belgian movie "Dief". They also reappear on national television (on "Nieuwe Maandag"). Ludo Mariman says the group now has a status where it can decide to play together once in while. They will also continue to tour in the summer of 1998.
This tour lasted well into 1999. During this they found out that they are doing to their own amazement - well eh - amazingly well in Eastern Germany. "There is a lot of demand for punks of the first generation over there. The sadder the surroundings, the better punkrock thrives", said singer Ludo Mariman in "Het Nieuwsblad".
The group has undergone some changes in personnel : ex-Scabs Frankie Saenen now hits the drums, and young Pieter Van Buyten (see also Flip Kowlier, Chitlin' Fooks) handles the bass. Ludo Mariman and guitar-player Luk Van De Poel remain on their post. On March 13th 2001, a live-concert in the Ancienne Belgique was recorded, and the goal still is to release a CD with this material.

Oh wait
꿀벌들도 get 꿀 get 꿀
난 지루해 데굴데굴 데구리
맛난 꿀 나도 먹고 싶어
오늘은 안될 게 뭐 있어
오늘 점심값은 굳었다 save ma 용돈님
아침부터 운수대통 오늘따라 기분 좋아 (좋아, 좋아)
Ey 소소한 고민도 없는 날 love it
웬일이야 오늘 정말
내가 가지고 있던 운을 다 써버린 걸까
많은 고민하지 말자 오늘만큼은 이런 나도
Get Cool
이 좋은 날 뭐가 더 필요해
Get Cool
내일 걱정 안 하며 날아갈 거야
오늘 난 fly into the sky, fly into the sky, fly fly fly
다 잘돼 오늘 뭔가 달라
더 높게 fly into the sky, fly into the sky, fly fly
So so 하지만 운수 좋은 날
Get cool, get cool, get cool 절로 노래가 나와 (la la la)
사뿐 사뿐 사뿐 마치 구름 위 같아

Get 이득 원플러스원
막내 오다 주웠다 훗

In "Cool", The Kids take pride in their individuality and personal style. They celebrate the simple act of feeling confident and stylish, even if no one else is watching. They suggest that true coolness comes not from attention or validation, but from authentic self-expression and inner confidence.
The song opens with the singer waking up feeling "like a new James Dean," suggesting a sense of youthfulness and rebellion. They then proceed to describe their outfit and appearance, feeling good in their own skin. The chorus repeats the sentiment of feeling cool, with the singer suggesting that they could even bottle and sell their "moves" because of how good they feel.
The second verse sees the singer reveling in their newfound success, with the signs of their accomplishments represented by green lights that look like palm trees. They suggest that they feel like Post Malone, who is known for his unique style and genre-blending music. They end the song with a declaration that when they grow up, they want to be just like themselves, embracing their individuality and sense of coolness.

I'm feelin' so cool
I feel confident and good about myself
Top to the bottom, just cool
Overall, I am cool and everything about me is cool
And every little thing that I do
In everything I do, I exude coolness
Yeah you know I'm feelin' so coo-oo-ool, yeah
Others can see and recognize my coolness
Woke up feelin' like a new James Dean
I feel like a rebel and an icon
I combed my hair like an old school scene
I'm rocking a classic hairstyle
I'm feelin' good like a late night summer of last year, yeah
I feel nostalgic and good about a past summer
Standing there with the red dress on ya
I am standing out in a bold and stylish dress
A killer queen like a young Jane Fonda
I feel like a powerful and strong woman, just like Jane Fonda
Is it me or am I just having a good year?
I question whether my success and coolness is just due to luck
Maybe I should bottle my moves (moves)
I wonder if I should monetize my coolness and trademark my actions
Sell 'em for a dollar or two (two)
I would make a profit off of my coolness
Must have done something right 'cause all these
My success proves I must be doing something right
Lights are green, man, they look like palm trees
Everything in my life is falling into place and looking beautiful
And every time that song comes on it's about me
I feel like the center of attention and that the world revolves around me
Oh, I feel like Post Malone when I get home
I see myself as a successful and cool artist like Post Malone
Sittin' there, winning like it's Game of Thrones
I feel victorious and powerful like a character in Game of Thrones
And now that we've made it, how complicated was last year?
Now that I'm cool and successful, I reflect on how tough my life was last year
When I grow up, I wanna be just like me
I aspire to continue to be cool and successful in the future
(Hey) cool, cool, cool
Repeating and emphasizing how cool I feel

Idk man I’m not the guy to make a fiend group
but I tried my best to talk to people who liked to sit by themselves, say them how they’re doing, to at least make sure they have a guy to talk to in school, but idk if the stuff I’m doing is right or not

She sees them walking in a straight line
That's not really her style
And they all got the same heartbeat
But hers is falling behind
Nothing in this world could ever bring them down
Yeah, they're invincible
And she's just in the background
And she says
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
Like the cool kids
He sees them talking with a big smile
But they haven't got a clue
Yeah, they're living the good life
Can't see what he is going through
They're driving fast cars
But they don't know where they're going
In the fast lane, living life without knowing
And he says
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
Like the cool kids
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to get it
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
Like the cool kids
And they said
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
Like the cool kids
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
Like the cool kids
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to get it
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
Like the cool kids
